Max turned one and you’ve all probably seen his cake smash session already, but now it’s time for his party, just a couple of days after the session! What a celebration this was, with a wonderful circus theme…mom, Kerry, did a FABULOUS job with all the details, decorations, food and outfits…she’s such a talented individual…I’m truly in awe of her abilities!! As you can see, it was quite the celebration, a gathering of family and a few close friends, this little guy is truly blessed with all those who love him and are there to help his parents in any way they might need it! Along with big sister, Maddy (one of the clowns!!), these two are definitely the “apples” of their parents eyes…they are loved, happy, healthy and adorable!! Not much explanation is necessary for this series of photos…so I’ll just leave you to browse through and see just how much fun Max had at his FIRST birthday party!With technology, even grandparents in California could join in the celebration and see just how much fun (and how messy!) Max was having!

YIKES…that is one CAKE COVERED little boy…and you can see by the smile just how much he loved it!!
After a bath…much cleaner and less sticky, but in his eyes, probably not nearly as much fun as when he was covered in frosting!

It hardly seems possible that it was just a year ago and I was meeting this little guy for the very first time! Max arrived on April 5th last year and I had the pleasure of taking his newborn photos…he was an amazing little guy, such a perfect little model and I enjoyed my time with him and his family! Big sister, Maddy, was quite excited to show off her new little brother and I can’t tell you how much I admire his mom, Kerry! Along with dad, Ed, they are a delightful family that I think of as a bonus for my job…meeting such great people and making new friends! Max arrived at the studio on his actual birthday and oh, did he ever charm me….and he was (again) SO good for the session! His talented and creative mom had the outfits and props figured out and they were just perfect…I can’t believe he’s one….time sure flies!

Daddy and Max have matching ties…and are definitely related…you can certainly see the resemblance between these two…and I love their matching ties…nice work, Kerry!

Here’s big sister, Maddy, with Max…showing off these adorable little owl hats…they are just too cute!!!

The smiles on the faces say it all…happy and adorable…carefree children, which is what life should be for children!

You might recognize this beautiful blanket of Max’s…from last year…you never get too old for your baby blanket!! And the adorable bare buns…love little baby buns!!!

I love this photo of Max in the aviator hat…and his expression…he’s usually full of smiles and to see this thoughtful look, it melts my heart!

The cake was SUPER cute…and Max certainly enjoyed having it all to himself…he certainly took the opportunity to enjoy it ALL!!!

Can you say M E S S Y !!!!!!! Oh, the joys of being a one year old!!!

TOO cute…as you can see, Max thoroughly enjoyed his cake and the mess was evidence of the his fun and enjoyment!! I love CAKE SMASH sessions!!!!

THE END!!!

Now, stay tuned to for a blog coming up soon…with highlights from “Mr. Max’s” first birthday party…it was a hoot…oh, do I love being part of such great people’s lives and sharing in special events!

Just a week ago, I had the pleasure of photographing this sweet and incredibly cute little boy…Jeremy Jr.,who is just 9 months old and already a real charmer!! It was just a few days before that when I had the pleasure of meeting Jeremy and his mom, Abby…and I must say, what a delight that was. Besides this little charmer, his mom is such a nice person and so thoughtful and a wonderful mom, who obviously loves and adores her son…which I absolutely love seeing the love between a parent and their child…it’s always a wonderful sight! While this little guy lives in the San Diego area, he was visiting friends in our area, so we had to get the session in during their week’s visit and I’m so happy we managed to work it out…and very excited to share it with all of you…here is this handsome little guy…who will certainly grab anyone’s heart, who he meets, he seems to not know any enemies!!I love little ones on their bellies…nearly all of them will “airplane” and make the cutest faces…and Jeremy didn’t let me down…and look at those eyes…wow!!!
Jeremy and his mom…such sweet moments…it was obvious that they BOTH love one another unconditionally…LOVE capturing these special relationships!!Baby toes…there isn’t much sweeter than this!!Jeremy with his “Auntie El” who he was visiting…not technically an aunt, but blood isn’t everything and let me tell you she adores this little guy…blood or no blood!!Super cute ties this little guy was wearing…make by Kiwi…if you have little boys, you must check these out!

Just a few days before Easter…we couldn’t resist the basket and eggs…he was trying his best to get them in his mouth, but didn’t quite figure it out!!Mom (Abby), her good friend (Auntie El) and Jeremy…I couldn’t let them leave without capturing a photo of the three of them…and of course, since he arrived in a Mariner’s sweatshirt, we had to make sure he was wearing that for a photo!!
